The Angle Exit Drill is one of the fastest ways to level up your Kun Khmer defense without becoming โ€œtoo defensive.โ€ ๐ŸฅŠ

The idea is simple: Hit โ†’ Exit โ†’ Reset. You strike, you step off the line (angle), then you reset your stance so youโ€™re safe and ready to attack again.

This drill is perfect for:

  • ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Avoiding counters right after you punch or kick
  • ๐Ÿฆถ Building clean footwork and balance under pressure
  • ๐ŸŽฏ Learning how to stay in range without standing in the danger zone

2. Why Angles Beat Counters

Most counters land for one reason: you stay in the same line after you hit.

In Kun Khmer, when you throw a jab-cross or a kick, your opponent often answers with:

  • ๐Ÿ‘Š Straight counter down the middle
  • ๐Ÿช Hook as you admire your combo
  • ๐Ÿฆต Low kick while your feet are square

Angle exit breaks this pattern because your head and body move off the line. So the opponent swings at โ€œwhere you wereโ€ โ€” not where you are. ๐ŸŽฏ

3. Step-by-Step: Hit โ†’ Exit โ†’ Reset

Step 1: HIT ๐ŸฅŠ

Throw a short combo (2โ€“3 strikes). Keep it clean and balanced.

Step 2: EXIT ๐Ÿ“

Immediately step to an angle. Your goal is to move your head off the centerline and change the lane.

  • โ†ฉ๏ธ Exit left (outside their power hand)
  • โ†ช๏ธ Exit right (create a new lane for your next attack)

Step 3: RESET โœ…

Rebuild your stance: feet under you, hands up, eyes on target. Reset means: ready to fire again โ€” not running away.

4. 6-Minute Plan (Exact Structure)

Simple structure: 3 rounds x 2 minutes (total 6 minutes). โฑ๏ธ

  • Round 1 (2 min): Jab โ†’ cross โ†’ exit (left/right alternating)
  • Round 2 (2 min): Add a kick or teep โ†’ exit โ†’ reset
  • Round 3 (2 min): Add defense trigger (block/slip) then counter โ†’ exit

Rest: 20โ€“30 seconds between rounds (shake legs, breathe slow ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ).

5. Coaching Keys (Cues That Fix Everything)

  • ๐Ÿ‘€ Eyes up: donโ€™t look at the floor when you angle out
  • ๐Ÿงค Hands return: exit with guard up (no lazy hands)
  • ๐Ÿฆถ Small steps: big steps kill balance
  • ๐ŸŽš๏ธ Control speed: clean first, fast later
  • ๐Ÿงญ Angle, not backwards: exiting is not just retreating

One sentence coaching key: โ€œDonโ€™t finish your combo in front of the opponent.โ€ โœ…

Do the drill alone. Focus on stance, balance, and clean exits.

Partner stands as a target. You hit the air in range, exit, reset. Partner doesnโ€™t counter yet.

Level 3: Light counter trigger ๐ŸŽฏ

Partner throws a light jab or hook after your combo. Your exit must make the counter miss.

Level 4: Sparring rule ๐ŸฅŠ

In sparring, add one rule: every combo must finish with an angle exit.
